If your lab test was performed at a lab other than these, or if you had only cardiac testing or a medical imaging test, such as an X-ray or ultrasound, you cannot register with my ehealth. Talk to your health care provider who ordered the tests to get the results. Check back periodically to see if your testing lab has been added to the list.

How do I register with my ehealth?

You can register online for my ehealth. Make sure you have the following ready:
• Your British Columbia or Ontario health card number (in BC, this may also be the "personal health number" on the back of your drivers license)
• An active email address
• Date of your recent lab visit (must be within the last 30 days)
• Lab visit number (if it was provided during your visit)
You can't register using the my ehealth iPhone and iPad app

3) Enter a password. The password must be at least 8 characters long, contain a mix of upper and lowercase letters, and contain at least one number or special character. Don't use the same password you use for your email account.

4) Create three security questions and answers that would be difficult for others to guess.

7)
When you receive the email, open it, click the Registration Confirmation link, and follow the prompts to complete your registration.

8)
For British Columbians only, if you registered with your mailing address, you'll receive a PIN (personal identification number) by Canada Post within 3 – 5 business days. Once you've received your PIN, open your registration confirmation email, click the Registration Confirmation link, and follow the prompts to complete your registration.

When I try to register, my registration fails because the information that I have entered cannot be validated.

The information about your lab visit that you entered must match the information on file with the lab, including personal information you provided during your visit, and the date of your visit (it must be within the past 30 days). Check this information carefully.

If you entered your information correctly and you're still getting a message that the registration failed, it may be because:

• The lab has not entered your visit and test information yet. In most cases, the information about your lab visit that is required for registration (such as an order status) is available within minutes, but in some cases it can take several hours. Wait a few hours and try again.

• Your information may not match correctly due to an incorrectly typed name or address.

If you're still unable to register, go to Support Request and complete the support form.

How do I register another family member to my account?

To add another family member to your account:

1)
Login to your my ehealth account and answer the security question.

2) Click View my Account.

3) Click Register another person under my account.

4) You will see a list of family members registered with this account. Click Register another person under my account.

5) Read the Privacy Statement. Click the small box to indicate your agreement with the privacy statement and click Continue.

If you have any problems registering another family member, refer to the question "Why did my registration fail? I entered all information correctly, but I got a message that my information cannot be validated."

If the information you entered matches the information the lab has on file, you will get an email confirming the addition of the family member to your account. Once the registration has been completed, you'll be able to view that family member's reports by logging into your account.

When I try to register, I receive the error message
'Email address already exists'.

The message "Email address already exists" means that the email address you are trying to register with is already in use. This could occur if you have an incomplete registration that you've previously submitted. If you get this message, go to Support Request and complete the support form.

If you're trying to register another person to your account using the same email address, see "How do I register another family member to my account?"..

When I try to complete my registration, an error page displays.

An error page displays when there's a problem processing your request. Some common reasons are:

• When you clicked on the Registration Confirmation link in your confirmation email, your email program may not have recognized the entire URL link.

Note: The URL link may not fit on a single line. Some email programs do not recognize the URL if it continues on a second line. In which case, copy and paste the complete link into your browser address bar. Also make sure you're using one of the supported browsers to access my ehealth. See "What browsers are supported by my ehealth?"

• You did not complete the registration process within 30 days.

If you continue to have problems, go to Support Request and complete the support form.

I have successfully completed my registration, and have viewed my
reports for the first time. Why am I unable to log back into my account?

To log back into your account, type http://www.myehealth.ca into your browser address bar, and click on the appropriate login link, based on your province.

Note: Do not use the Registration Confirmation link in the confirmation email—this link is no longer valid once your registration is completed.

If you still can't log back in, go to Support Request and complete the support form.

Can I register on behalf of my child who is under 16 (BC) / 18 (Ontario)?

Parents and guardians are not able to register a person under the age of 16 in British Columbia or 18 in Ontario. The privacy of patients is of utmost concern to my ehealth, Excelleris, and the labs that perform your tests. They all understand the wish of parents to have access to their children's records, but are bound by legislation that protects the rights of individuals, including your children. If you would like to get a copy of your child's tests results, talk to your child's health care provider or contact the testing lab directly.

Why can't I register if my lab visit was more than 30 days ago?

For privacy and security reasons, if 30 days have passed since your last lab visit, you will not be able to register for my ehealth. If you would like to get a copy of your test results, talk to your health care provider.

If you decide to register after your next lab visit, ask the lab staff for your "lab visit number," which will expedite the registration process. Once you're registered, you will have access to your reports from that lab visit forward.

Can I use my iPhone, Android, or Blackberry to register with my ehealth?

You cannot register for my ehealth using a smartphone, such as an iPhone, Android device, or Blackberry—you must use a desktop computer, laptop, or a tablet to register. Once you're registered, you can view your test results from your smartphone and other devices.

Login Questions and Answers

When I answer a security question, I receive the error message
'Answer is incorrect. Please try again'.

The message "Answer is incorrect. Please try again" will display if the answer you enter to a security question when you login does not match exactly the answer that you provided when you initially registered for my ehealth. You must match exactly the wording you used initially. However, it's not case sensitive, so if the correct answer is "I met my wife in Paris" you can enter "i met my wife in paris".

The security question is chosen randomly from the 3 security questions that you answered when you initially registered. If you're unable to answer a question correctly, close and reopen your browser, log back in, and try again. You may have to repeat this several times until you can answer one of the 3 security questions correctly.

Once you've successfully logged in, you can change the answers to your security questions:

My Reports Questions and Answers

Can I access my historical reports on my ehealth?

My ehealth can only provide your lab results since the lab visit date you entered at registration. To get copies of previous reports, talk to your health care provider.

Why is my lab result still pending? It's been several days since my lab test.

Most lab results are released from the testing lab and posted to your my ehealth account within 24 hours. However, it may take longer than 48 hours for some results to become available. Testing times vary and some tests, especially microbiology tests, may take more time. Some tests can take one or two weeks before the results are available. If you're concerned, talk to your health care provider.

I got an email from my ehealth telling me that my lab report has been updated, but I can't see what has changed.

Whenever the testing lab updates your report, a notification email is automatically sent to you by my ehealth. Don't be concerned if you can't see a change. Reports can be updated for a variety of reasons:

• Addition of another test
• Correction of a test result or adjustment of a reference range (this update will be obvious on the report)
• Addition of a Copy to provider
• Correction of an ordering provider
• Correction of the date or time of specimen collection
• Correction of typographical or clerical errors

Why is one of my reports missing? I visited one of your supported
labs but there is no record of the visit in my account.

For results to be posted online, the information entered by the lab in your recent lab report must match exactly the information recorded in your my ehealth account, including:

• First name
• Last name
• Date of birth
• Health card number
• Gender

If any of the above information does not match your my ehealth account information, the report will not be posted to your online account. If you've visited one of our supported labs and don't see any information about your lab visit in your account within one day, go to Support Request and complete the support form.

I need some help understanding my report

My ehealth does not provide any information about how to interpret lab reports. Talk to your health care provider about your test results.

How do I deactivate my account with my ehealth?

I recently went to a Valley Medical Lab, but my registration has failed.

If you recently went to a Valley Medical Lab, you will not be able to register until all of your testing has been completed.

Once I register, what types of reports will I be able to view?

My ehealth is only able to provide results for lab tests that were performed at one of our participating labs in BC and Ontario.

On my ehealth, I received the message "Oops you shouldn't be here."

"Oops you shouldn't be here" generally indicates that an error has occurred with loading your information. Try closing your browser, re-opening the login page, and logging in again. If you are selecting multiple reports to view and this message appears, try opening one report at a time. If reopening the page and logging in again does not fix the problem, go to Support Request and complete the support form.

The problem I encountered is not listed here.
